Neurons vs. Morons

George W. Bush, a man with no scientific or medical understanding whatsoever, will now issue his first ever veto on a stem cell research bill that, according to news reports, is supported by 70% of Americans.

But Bush doesn't represent Americans. He represents Jesus. And Jesus wants to grow morons, not neurons.

"The president is not going to get on the slippery slope of taking something living and making it dead for the purposes of scientific research."

Senate supporters of the bill likened that logic to opposition suffered by Galileo, Christopher Columbus and others who were rebuked in their time but vindicated later.


Sens. DeWine and Voinovich both voted NO (what the...???).

How did your senator vote? Here's C-SPAN's map.

Bush does not represent a poor, Jewish hippy who told people to love each other. He represents people who use religion as a country club.

"The president is not going to get on the slippery slope of taking something living and making it dead for the purposes of scientific research."

Does this mean we're ending animal experimentation? Aren't chimps farther down the "slippery slope" than a fertilized cell?

Animals don't count. They're just deadbeats that don't pay taxes and take up space that should be used for real estate development. At least that's what they say at the country club/church I go to.
